Hi APJ,
A SOTD (Scent Of The Day) thread is a really good conversation generator. The idea is you’ll chime in through the week with whatever scent you are wearing. You don’t need to be super knowledgable, have high faluting tastes or be a published author to comment. Just tell us what fragrance you’re wearing, smelling, buying etc. and how it makes you feel and/or anything else about it that tickles your fancy.
You can also comment on everyone else choices too. It’s great to tell someone how much you love their choice, ask for more info about it, the house or perfumer. There’s someone here from around the world 24/7 and perfume people love to chat.
SOTD 26.8 – 1.9.2019
You probably won’t have time to write every scent, every spritz but whenever you feel the mood take you share your current spritz and a few things about it. Maybe you love/loathe it, want it, are excited by the notes/bottle/SA who sold it: WHATEVER! As always here at APJ, taking sides never means taking offence and everyone keeps it respectful and light, even though we can sometimes trawl the depths.
Hopefully you will come back and see if anyone has responded to your comment and you can reply to them.
Go To It Crew.

Fantastic fragrance, Fazal. It takes me back to my youth…wore that one like crazy when I was 18. It was extraordinarily unique and unusual…very polarizing scent but I just loved it. Many many years later when I finally got my hands on violet leaf essential oil, I understood why I loved Grey Flannel so much .
LikeLike
Brigitte, so you are saying the violet leaf in grey flannel is quite realistic… I didnt know how violet leaf smells but it does give me vibe of tomato stem in Grey Flannel. There are all kind of violet perfumes that can smell so differently from each other so I thought the violet smell in Grey Flannel is just the magic of the composition. I did not know the note of violet leaf in grey flannel is actually quite realistic. Maybe I should have considered the possibility that violet leaf and violet may have quite different smell and other perfumes tend to employ violet note rather than violet leaf note. Thanks for the info.
LikeLike
Oh yes they are unique and distinct smells…violet versus violet leaf.

Funny but now I am reading reviews on Grey Flannel. The writer of Pour Monsieur blog says it’s the violet leaf that turns some folks off to Grey Flannel. But I see that it also has violet listed as a note. violet leaf smells like fresh cut grass…. it’s very bracing.

Hahhahha, what a coincidence. I have also read the same article this month. I think Grey Flannel until at least 2012 was still pretty decent and faithful to the original. unfortunately, I have not smelled any version after that.

Commando…all day long…I even forgot to shower!!! I am a little bundle of energy massively cleaning the house! Vacuumed all floors before mopping three quarters of the house (we have no carpeting), tested and threw out a whole bunch of old pens and pencils, cleaned the pen/pencil holders all around the house, organized the girls’ old college books and notes in the basement, made decants to be mailed out, ran some errands, did some online work training videos and texted the mini Marzipans all day long.
Now I am FINALLY sitting down to APJ and gave myself a spritz of by Killian Love and I must say that I smell amazing. I am making the most of the last three days of my staycation. Tomorrow I finish mopping the living room and all the floors have been given a good thorough cleaning.
